After Du You returned to Cloud City, he didn’t take any significant actions. On the surface, he seed to just stay at ho all day, working on the construction of the new city. Sotis, he would visit his own territory to check on things.
Therefore, except for the city lord, no one else had contacted him, making him appear harmless.
However, Du You knew that the Lin Family must have been keeping an eye on him in secret. If it weren’t for the fact that they lacked the strength and didn’t dare to make a move, soone would have probably tried to assassinate him by now.
Unfortunately, the area was too remote, and even the illegal organizations didn’t have very strong capabilities.
After Du You had wiped out a branch of the Blood Lotus previously, he now didn’t even know whether Blood Lotus had reestablished it. But even if they had, there definitely was no one here who could be his match, even if they had a fourth-tier person.
A few days later, the new city was completed—such was the terrifying power of today’s technological strength.
The honeycomb-like city, built up layer by layer, looked very spectacular. Each hexagon inside was the size of a large town, capable of accommodating many people, and by now quite a few refugees had already taken residence here.
After arriving here, Du You didn’t hesitate to open both spatial gates imdiately, and Li Minglu sent people over to establish disguises and take control, linking up the new city, which quickly started to develop on a large scale.
The managent of this city was in the hands of the two people who ca here with him. Seeing their experienced ways, Du You was sure that these two were indeed veterans in city managent.
Regarding the specific city managent matters, Du You didn’t get involved, but the surrounding forces were aware of the ergence of this new city and they dared not take it lightly. Particularly when a fifth-tier military force appeared and began to sweep away the nearby dangers, those people dared not make any reckless moves. Who would have thought, such a formidable person would appear in such a remote place.
Just one year after venturing out, to own his own territory and a fifth-tier one at that was truly terrifying. His return to build a city in this location and directly open the territorial passage with fifth-tier forces was really fearso.
A fifth-tier force, each individual was invincible here, not to ntion there was a whole team.
Because of these fifth-tier forces, the refugees around imdiately rushed towards this direction. Many of the city dwellers hoped to gain the qualifications to reside in this city.
For ordinary people, safety was their greatest need, more important than anything else.
Because Du You originated from Cloud City, he naturally had connections with Cloud City. Making use of this relationship, Du You unhesitatingly sent people to open a road between Yao River City and Cloud City, and even personally cleared the road surrounding area himself.
He cleaned up all the nearby dangers and no one or alien beast dared to cause trouble here. This road also beca a linkage between the two cities—a quite uncommon occurrence between cities.
The new city lord didn’t mind at all, and even before the new road section was completed, ca personally with his people to Yao River City.
"I wonder what brings the city lord here this ti," Du You asked straightforwardly.
"Haha, you’re too polite, the humble Cloud City is nowhere near as formidable as your Yao River City. Moreover, yours is a private city, while we are under the alliance’s jurisdiction, you can just call Hu Qing."
"We’re all equals here, both city lords, just call Du You. You’re older, so I’ll call you Brother Hu."
A glint of amusent passed through Hu Qing’s eyes—this was a gesture of closeness. "Then I’ll take the liberty of calling you Brother Du." While saying this, Hu Qing was also carefully observing Du You’s expression.
It was necessary; Du You’s strength was much greater than his own. Originally, if only a fourth-tier was required, he wouldn’t need to be so ingratiating, despite the difference of one tier, given his status as a city lord.
But now things were different. Du You was also a city lord, and this city was privately owned. Most importantly, Du You had a fifth-tier territory, aning he had fifth-tier combat capabilities, which was completely beyond his ability to compete.
Though the two cities were quite distant, no need to worry about fifth-tier forces approaching his doorstep, strength was still strength. Both being city lords, Hu Qing really couldn’t stand firm before Du You.
"I’ve co to ask you, Brother, how our two cities should cooperate in the future?"
Saying it was about cooperation was actually testing the waters to see if Du You intended to make Cloud City a subordinate city, sothing he couldn’t resist. Even if not in na, such relationships were common, especially those private cities with strong territories and lords backing them.
Decoding the hint, Du You imdiately responded, "Let’s talk. We definitely shouldn’t interfere in each other’s internal affairs, but we can engage in trade." It was like receiving an offer at the mont he needed it the most; he was just thinking of supporting Hu Qing.
Without hesitation, Du You spoke, "Though our city has so strength, its technological power isn’t developed enough, and we still rely on the alliance. We need to purchase many technological items, all of which will require your help, Brother Hu. Of course, we won’t expect your efforts for nothing, we have several things we can trade here."
Du You gestured for his people to bring out so territorial productions, making Hu Qing very happy. When he saw the last two items, Hu Qing’s eyes widened in surprise, as they were special weapons, a large repeating crossbow and a Gang Blade Cannon.
The large repeating crossbow was capable of reaching third-tier power, and despite looking like an ancient artifact, the power of the item wasn’t judged by its appearance. The Gang Blade Cannon even reached fourth-tier, sothing not even available in Cloud City.
"These are for you, Brother Hu, as a testant to the friendship between our two cities. Besides, we can also help you train so Professionals. Our territory is completely under control and very safe. We also have the special Tian Gang Martial Artists, very powerful, you might want to learn more about it."
This was an overwhelmingly generous offer, and if Hu Qing hadn’t known he had nothing to lose, he might have thought Du You was scheming sothing against him. But quickly, Hu Qing set aside those thoughts.
No matter how he looked at it, he was getting the better end of the deal. Given his current unique situation, how could he not agree?
Not to ntion anything else, just purchasing a batch of large repeating crossbows and Gang Blade Cannons would ensure that no family alliance could stand against him.
